Update: Listen to Chvrches' contribution, "Get Away", above.

Update 2: Zane Lowe has responded to critics of the Drive project. See below.

Ryan Gosling can thank the soundtrack to 2011's Drive, which featured music by Cliff Martinez, Chromatics, Kavinsky, College and Electric Youth, and more, for making him look so cool. Now, a group of bands have taken on the daunting task of replicating the effect. BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe has enlisted Chvrches, Foals, SBTRKT, Jon Hopkins, Laura Mvula, the 1975, Baauer, BANKS, Bastille, Bring Me The Horizon, Eric Prydz, the Neighbourhood, and ZCC (aka Simon Neil of Biffy Clyro) in making a brand new soundtrack for Drive. The project is titled Radio 1 Rescores: Drive - Curated by Zane Lowe. All of the tracks but one are brand new, made specifically for this project.

"I’d rather somebody stole the record on vinyl than bought it or streamed it on Spotify. Because I think you should listen to music on vinyl, and I think basically anything is better than that. It's like going to a restaurant when the chef and all the waiting staff have worked their asses off, and you leave coppers as a tip, and you don't even pay the bill. That's basically what Spotify's like, I think."
